I had an idea for a variant with Wild Pair after playing with you. It probably can still be tweaked a bit, but here is the deck list with the rough idea and explanation. 4x Wild Pair 4x Wirewood Symbiote 4x Concordant Crossroads 4x Deranged Hermit 4x Llanowar Elves 4x Fyndhorn Elves 4x Elves of Deep Shadow 4x Priest of Titania 1x Gaea's Cradle 4x Urborg Elf 4x Tropical Island 2x Breeding Pool 2x Yavimaya Coast 8x Forest 1x Shrieking Drake 3x Devoted Druid 3x Regal Force Main strategy is to put Wild Pair and Concordant Crossroads into play as soon as possible, then play some more small creatures to tutor for multiple Deranged Hermits and overrun your opponent with a large amount of pumped squirrels at the same turn. Crossroads also help the elves produce mana the turn they come into play. Wirewood Symbionts can untap Priest of Titania by returning a ost Elf to hand and also has synergy with Wild Pair in case you have Crossroads and Wild Pair out, but no creature in your hand. Regal Force is a good green card drawer. It rewards you for your little elves in play. If you happen to have rough amounts of mana but not so many creatures in play you might also just hardcast a Deranged Hermit and then Regal Force and draw cards for each squirrel, too. That's nuts. The best part is the blue splash though. By adding the duals/painlands and Urborg Elves you will very likely be able to produce some blue mana by the time you have Wild Pair out. If you happen to have only one creature in hand and no Symbiont out, or only one Symbiont and no creature in hand, go tutor for the Shrieking Drake! It triggers Wild Pair for U, then bounces itself back to your hand. Rinse and repeat. You can also utilize it to bounce a Regal Force back to your hand if for example you are still missing your Crossroads, but have your other combo pieces ready.
